Denby bowls players record home victory

Denby men’s bowls team’s home form this season has not been as consistent as normal, but when Kev Brealy overturned a large early deficit against Hazelwood, it seemed to inspire the rest of the team to take the first eight matches.

Only determined bowling by Hazelwood’s Steve Lightfoot and Ken Kirk in the last two matches salvaged anything for the visitors.

Denby took the aggregate by 205-129 and 10-2 points.
